It is, I find, in zoology as it is in botany: all nature is so full, that that district produces the greatest variety which is the most examined.

The sin which is indulged to the greatest extent, which separates us from God and produces so many spiritual disorders, and which are contagious, is selfishness.

The parish I live in is a very abrupt, uneven country, full of hills and woods, and therefore full of birds.

The mere existence of mornings,afternoons,evenings & nights shows natures love for variety.

ZOOLOGY, n. The science and history of the animal kingdom, including its king, the House Fly ("Musca maledicta"). The father of Zoology was Aristotle, as is universally conceded, but the name of its mother has not come down to us.

HIPPOGRIFF, n. An animal (now extinct) which was half horse and half griffin. The griffin was a compound creature, half lion and half eagle. The hippogriff was, therefore, only one quarter eagle, which is $2.50 in gold. Zoology is full of surprises.
